we want to unlock our energy resources to put more americans back to work. the president does not. having said that, today was a good start. i hope that these kind of discussions can continue even though we have very real deficits, our job is to find common ground to do the work of the american people sent us here to do. host: speaker boehner reflecting on the republicans meeting with the president yesterday. bob is our next caller in minnesota, a democrat. caller: thanks for taking my call. the biggest problem is the health care, which is the biggest drain as far as unnecessary and wasteful spending. the only way to fix that is to eliminate the insurance companies. the insurance companies don't contribute anything to the medical profession. they don't even put a band-aid on you. all they do is take money. if you cannot see the fact that the single payer system is a better way than what we are doing now, then you are just missing it. as far as social security, social security is not doing anything bad. it is self sustaining. if they need to make any changes to social security, just
